The Same Old Game.

An old gentleman by the name Of Thomas
Peck, who belongs in Utica, N. Y, in COM
pany with young man about 50 years of
age, arrived in this city Monday night They
went to hotel. and the old gentleman regis
tered his name, but the young man did not,
as he said he belonged in Old Orchard and
was going to that place. The two men, it
seems, met at Providence, r. |. The young
man engaged in conversation with Mr.. Peck,
and told him that he was out of money, but
had check for $500, which he could get
cashed as soon as he arrived in Portland
Very kindly the old gentleman paid the
young mans bills to this city, and then lent
him $40. The young man said he would go to
Old Orchard and return in the morning,
when he would get his check cashed and pay
the $40 and what else he owed In the morning
the man did not return, but sent postal
card to Mr.. Peck saying that on his arrival
at Old Orchard he found his sister was dead,
and that he was going to Bangor to bury her.
The postal was dated at Old Orchard, but
the post-mark showed it was mailed in Port.
land. The postal went on to inform the old
gentleman that he better not wait for the
young mans return, but to go to his home in
| Utica, and in due time the money would be
sent him. After waiting here until yester-
day, Mr.. Peck came to the conclusion that ii
| would not be of much use to await the re-
| turn of his fellow traveller, and so he left for
| his home, fully convinced that he had been
victimized by confidence man to the extent
of some $50 1t was not possible to get a

The Munjoy Water supply.

The committee to consider the petition of
Joseph D. Decelle, ct ais, for better sup
ply of water on Munjoy Hill, met at the
Mayors Office last evening. Alderman CAT
ley was chairman, and Councilman Laughlin
was secretary. M. A. Floyd, Esq, and Mr.
j. d. Decelle appeared for the petitioners,
and stated their grievances, claiming lack
of supply to the hill people. Ex-Mayor Wes-
cott on behalf of the Water Company, ex-
planned the purposes of the company and
pointed out on the map the difficulties under
which they had labored. Bynext year every
part of the city will be amply supplied. The
new reservoir on Munjoy will hold not less
than fifteen million and they hope to reach
twenty million gallons. The great trouble
in the past has been the enormous waste of
water. The company expended $4,000 on
meters last year, which has saved a large
amount of water. The ex-Mayor's plans
will give our people fullest supply; the COM
pany are alive to the responsibilities that
rest upon them and will do all in their power
to satisfy the people.
The new main from Fore through Mount
fort and Washington to Oxford streets will
relieve the hill. This main will be COM
pleted by August next. The committee
report that the company will afford the pc
titioners all the accommodation required.
The committee consisted of Aldermen Cat
ley and Smith, Councilmen Laughlin, Abb
bolt and Trefethren. The latter was absent.

Just about IL o'clock the Winthrop's engines
were set in motion and the steamer swung
away from the wharf. The day was delight
full and the sea perfectly calm. Dinner was
cooked in the well appointed kitchen of the
new boat and served when the steamer was
passing Seguin. The direct course from
Bath was not followed, the Winthrop swing
ing around to get into the course taken by
the New York steamers in making port AS
the steamship came up the bay she was
greeted with a chorus from the whistles of
the steamboats, in the harbor. 1t was just
half past three when the wharf was reached.

The XestlhuIa Train.

1t has been decided, owing to the extra
expense attendant on running the new Bos-
ton and Mount Desert vestibule train
that no passes, annual, trip or other
wise, shall be accepted thereon, and, for the
same reason, an extra fare is also required
which in all cases includes seat. Every per-
son riding on this train must, then, procure
regular passage ticket and in addition
thereto an extra fare check. The extra fare
to be charged is as follows: Between Bos-
ton and Bangor or Mt. Desert Ferry $3.50
Portland and Mt. Desert Ferry, $3.50; Port
land and Bangor, 1925; Bangor and Mt.
Desert Ferry, $1.00; Boston and Portland,
$1.50. This train commences running next
Monday, July 4th. The regular summer
schedule on the Maine Central, however.
went into effect on Monday last at which
time the 'Flying Yankee" and usual Bar
Harbor express train were put on, and as is
usual on that road, every train was on time,
The double track between Portland and
Cumberland was also used for the first time
and proved a great success. This virtually
gives to the Maine Central double track of
"a miles or covering the distance between
Portland and Waterville, as much of adouble
track as the Lake Shore in many places, and
the Maine Central might with the same pro-
priety advertise as much. AS illustrative of
the boom Bar Harbor is taking it is noted
that from June 18th TO June Goth inclusive
the arrivals and departures were 2,422 this
year as against 1,413 last year, gain of II!
per cent.

ample time to enjoy the beauties of Mount
Desert, and also take in the celebration at
Ellsworth on the Fourth, which, in addition
to other features of interest, holds out that

of Service.

Not only the members of the bar entitled
to practice in the United States Courts, but
our citizens generally, will hear with regret
that Mr.. William Pitt Preble, the courteous
genial and accurate clerk of the United
States District Court, has rendered his res
ignation to take effect July LIST. Mr.. Preble

nearly forty years, succeeding Hon. John
Mussey in 1913, receiving his appointment
from the late Judge Ashur Ware, and during
all that time he has always been prompt,
obliging and efficient
1t is probable, from what we hear, that the
Gle rkship thus made vacant, will be offered

den, for seventeen years clerk OF the courts
for Cumberland county, and later clerk OF
the Court of Alabama Claims at Washing
